Protecting my hands..........in my style..........

I have been planning my garden spaces for next year's planting season......as the snow falls outside.

I have learned through the years to remove my rings from my fingers and to wear gloves........

so I decided to embroider my work gloves...............

I ran across this embroidery transfer........and loved the old coffee can with flowers blooming through

the rotted hole of the can........

so I embroidered it onto one glove......

which by the way.......was a bit difficult.  The canvas was thick and hard to push a needle through

and my hand ached during the embroidery because it was hard to work the stitches from inside the glove...........but I persevered and finally completed the embroidery.  

the design made me think of one of my favorite phrases........bloom where you are planted......how fitting with the flowers in the old coffee can.........

so I embroidered the phrase onto the other glove.

I have seen painted gloves........and they are very pretty......

I wanted to make mine embroidered.

So tell me..........what is the strangest thing you have ever embroidered on.

I would love to hear!
